Title: UAE for AROS
Post by: Emufreak on February 22, 2004, 03:21:58 PM: I just installed AROS and played around a little with UAE. Its nice, but is there a way to configure it any further. To use hardfiles with it for example.

I can't boot my AROS-Installation directly too. Actually something very funny happened after I installed AROS. The Next Time I started my Computer the PC booted the Windowsinstallation which I had actually overwriten with AROS. So I booted the PC again with my AROS-CD. Aros booted without any Problems and the Device DH0 showed up too and worked. After that I removed the Windows Partition from the Harddisk. The AROS Partition didn't show up in FDISK. When I boot my System with the AROS-CD DH0 still shows up and works but I can't but directly into AROS from HD.

This doesn't bather me too much because I just wanted a harddrive to put some files on. But I'm wondering why this happened.

AROS uses RDB (amiga) disks rather than the PC (MBR) ones... if might be a good idea to remove the MBR table using Fdisk before you install AROS onto it.

Fdisk knows nothing about RDB, which is probably why the AROS partition didn't show up.

Bloodline:

What do you mean with Removing MBR Tables? Do you mean to just remove the Windows-, Linuxpartitions?

Yeah in Fdisk, just delete all the old partitions.

As for UAE, you will need to speak to Adam or Fabio.

That's a known bug and the Dev is working on it so it works with partitians larger then 4 GB. When the bug will be fixed is unkown but I have a feeling within a week or two.
